Quote ="McClennan"Not really. Given his appearance record for us I would have let him go as I think most others would. We also don't know how much he was on but given the quality of his bird it doesn't look like it was peanuts.'"
If he is suffering from a chronic injury, the treatment for which can only be palliative, then I'd let him go. But if he's just been unlucky and dogged by a string of unconnected injuries then I'd think very seriously before releasing him. After all, if the club physician says there is no medical impediment to returning to past form it would be silly to cut him loose. When fit he is an excellent front rower and with him back to 100% and Fozzard coming in it would be like having two new props.
As for his wage demands. I'm sure that both he and his agent know his stock has fallen over the last couple of years. Could be a great bargain.
